Traditional German Red Cabbage and Apple Recipe

kg red cabbage (2 lb)

onions (approx 150 gr (5 oz))

apples

butter oil

cinnamon

ml red wine vinegar

ml water (4.2 fl oz)

tbsp sugar

Remove the leaves and stalk from the red cabbage; wash them and cut into fine strips. I suggest shredding them in your food processor to save time. Once transferred into a bowl pour the red wine vinegar over it.

Peel and finely slice the onions.

Peel, core and cube the apples. (appox 3 cm cubes)

In a large saucepan melt the butter or oil on medium heat. Add the onions and fry them until they begin to brown. Now add the sugar and apples and fry until they start to slightly caramelise. Add the cabbage to it and fry for 5 minutes. Continue to stir it to make sure it does not burn.

Add the bay leaf, cloves, salt, cinnamon stick and water. Place a lid on the pot and leave to steam on a low heat for about 1 hour. Stir it occasionally to ensure the bottom does not burn.

If you find the cabbage to liquidy mix 1 tbsp flour with 2 tbsp of water in a little bowl and add to the cabbage pot.

Add more sugar or salt to taste.

Serve immediately or the next day. This dish sometimes tastes even better the next day and freezes well.

To cook in a saucepan

Grease the bowl of your slow cooker with some butter.

Peal and cube the onions.

Peal the apples; remove the core and chop into approx. 2 cm cubes

Add all the ingredients and leave to cook for around 5 hours.

To cook in the slow cooker

German Red Cabbage with Apple

This deep, purple dish is a classic German accompaniment to a hearty meat course.

Braised Red Cabbage with Bacon

bacon,

Tbsp. sugar

yellow onion, finely chopped

salt and black pepper

Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped

Port wine

red wine vinegar

red cabbage (about 3 lb.), cored and thinly sliced

chicken stock

red currant jelly

To a large, wide pot, add the bacon, set over medium high-heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is just beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and continue cooking, stirring continuously, until the sugar has liquified, about 30 seconds. Stir in the onions, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the apple, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and cook until the apple is tender, 6–8 minutes.

Uncover the pot, stir in the Port, vinegar, and cabbage, then cover and cook until the cabbage is bright purple and slightly wilted, 5–7 minutes. Stir in the stock, season lightly with salt and black pepper, then turn the heat up to medium-high. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is tender but still bright purple, about 1¼ hours.

Uncover the pot, stir in red currant jelly, and season to taste with more salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the jelly is fully melted and the cooking juices are glossy, 4–5 minutes more. Remove from heat and serve hot.
